A Tennessee nonprofit called WAKE planned the protest. The group seeks to improve conditions for women and children, according to The New York Post.

“We have collaborated with community organizations and individual citizens to organize a rally at the State Capitol Thursday morning. If you are looking for a way to channel your grief, anger, and confusion into action- please join us,” WAKE wrote in a social media post earlier this week.
